Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

It seems that Gonzo and I were a little surprised because we barely talked about this kind of story.

But I know I'm serious, and Gonzo tells me his feelings honestly.

"... I'm not strong enough to say that I want to protect so many people... but maybe that's what I think.

"Do you realize what that means in the world?

"What do you mean...?

"... until now, the lower people have lived as lower people... no. It's been thrown away. I think it's a very strong word… but I've also learned a few things. In the world, the truth is, yes.

"... ahh. It's terrible.

I don't eat, steal, kill, take away... I honestly nod when I'm called a demon. But! "

"Yes, but just like Gonzo, we're all desperately alive.

"That's right. Since I left here, I've seen with my own eyes what these people are being treated like.

Originally, I was a lower people, so I understood to some extent, and I was prepared. But still... I'm exhausted with a ridiculous word.

The children are treated like dirt and beaten to the stomach.

Women are raped because they are still small, and even when they grow up, they are raped.

Where do you think I can save you? I didn't see any salvation. Just one.

But I had... that salvation.

I've been thinking about why only I was saved... forever. And I... thought this was the answer...

"... I do think that what Gonzo did saved many people from the edge of death.

But... from the public's perspective, it looks like the work of heretics who are trying to change the world today...

"A heretic...?

"The lower people are the lower people. Something that's not human… sad, but that's what most people recognize.

And it is not normal to try to save the people below and receive them as human beings. It's heresy.

"... I know that. What I'm doing is unusual.

But still... I want to change it... "

"That's it.

Huh?

"Gonzo wants to change the common sense of the people on this island.

"... maybe Sakura is right. I've never thought about that before..."

"But... in Gonzo's current way, it's not going to work that well.

…………

"Even if Gonzo has repeatedly undertaken work and achieved results, it is an event around Gonzo alone and will not travel across the island.

I'm not denying what Gonzo is doing. I think it's a great thing. But it's only happening in a very limited area.

"And the more you witness the rough events that come from the difficulty of identity difference, the worse your impression will be, and it will spread to those who work together.

Master Gonzo, it is not difficult to imagine that you will be the rough ones, instead of taking one person away and taking the rough ones...

"If it spreads, you won't be able to undertake the work as you have done before.

And he that giveth work unto the people beneath the desolates shall also be seen with white eyes.

"... Sakura is right... some of our business partners have already pulled back.

However, we cannot overlook the accusations levelled against the people below us.

"Yes, I won't overlook it. No, I don't think we should overlook it. That's not the problem.

What I want to tell you is that when we look at it from the public, it is also… the lower people who are solving the trouble.

Gonzo's outfit is worn out. I tied my hair behind my head and above my head, but I tied it with a rag.

I heard that I don't have the money to buy a sword and always put a wooden knife down on my waist.

Whoever sees it, looks invisible to civilians.

I work with the people below, so naturally I look the same. That can't be helped. But...

"But... I'm a lowlife.

"... that's right. But if Gonzo becomes the Four Demons, the story is different.

…………

If Gonzo became a Four Demon, fought as a Four Demon, or saved the people below, the way the world sees him will change considerably.

Instead of the lower people saving the lower people, the Four Demons saving the lower people... because it will have a huge impact on the people of this island.

"The power of the lower people alone can only change the environment around them... but if it's Shiki, it's not a dream to change the consciousness of the whole island.

"Four demons..."

Gonzo looks bitter.

Different identities, learning swordsmanship from now on... Even if you think about the presence or absence of lacquered stones, it's more obvious how difficult it is than looking at the fire.

I think that Gonzo also remembered the promise he made among the cherry trees. There must have been something in his head.

I have a promise with Sena and a promise with my brother. Still, there's a good reason why I didn't move to become a Four Demons.

I know that Gonzo has carried his legs to the dojo many times in an attempt to become a Four Demons. My father told me that he went to lower his head to join Genjiro's apprentice.

But instead of meeting Genjiro, I heard that he was not even allowed to enter the gate.

I don't know if that's Genjiro's intention, but it's not enough to negotiate directly.

I couldn't go many times, so Gonzo took a different path.

I know so much, why would I want you to be a Four Demons? That's because I know Genjiro, who is close to my father.

Genjiro is a generous person with kindness.

I never underestimate people because they are low.

However, it is also very harsh. Especially when it comes to the sword, it's very strict.

Even if I knew that Gonzo had been paid in advance, I don't think I'm dealing with anything. I think I'm trying to see if I can really do it by looking at Gonzo's identity and all the other things...

Even if I just told Gonzo about it, I don't think Gonzo's feelings will change significantly. After all, I don't think Gonzo can endure it if he decides himself and if Gonzo doesn't change himself.

If you put it this way, Miss Gonzo may get hurt. I may not even be interested in Shiki. But... if I can be the slightest aide to Gonzo's future, that's all I'm happy about.

"Now I know that there is a black stone in Gonzo's body. Gonzo's path has been widened.

Ultimately, it is Gonzo who decides... If Gonzo is thinking about what he is trying to do, I think that the path leading to Shiki is the path that Gonzo should take...

I can't offer. "

No.

When I tried to apologize, Gonzo blocked it with his own voice.

"I think what Sakura says is the best. I can't come to a conclusion right away... but I'll think about it.

Sakura is important to me. Don't tell me you can't give me advice.

What an abomination I have now.

Mr. Gonzo told me that he was a dear person, and he has gone up so far.

"I'll think about it again. Thank you."

"... yes.

I said something great to Gonzo... but I didn't really want him to be in a dangerous job called Shiki.

I can tell from looking at my father that the work is so dangerous that it is not comparable, such as the troubles in the city.

However, if you are in love with a dream, I want to support you, not deny it.

I wonder if this is the weakness I fell in love with... slightly different. But... if this is a weakness, then I may be weak... perhaps.

Gonzo seemed distressed after this story.

There are people downstairs, and I don't think I can throw what I'm doing.

If I had a lot of trouble and finally decided on a path, I thought it would be Gonzo's dream in either way, so I was going to support Gonzo in either way.

But.....

At such a turn, a large turn-off will come.

At that time, I was asked to see some lacquered stones with the power of cherry blossoms.

The magic used was faint, and there was no particular problem with it...

The cherry blossom season was such a warm afternoon.

I was looking at the black stone of a man who had been asked to do so.

I was very impressed because I was a very unusual person.

His name is Garak.

A black-haired man with long black hair wearing a ghost-like outfit. However, the face was covered with a pure white, shiny face with holes only in the eye area.

Inside the hole, you can see dark eyes that are about to be inhaled.

I've never seen anyone dressed like that before, and I was surprised at the beginning.

"I'm sorry for dressing like this.

Immediately after the encounter, the man apologized and lowered his head with a pleasant voice of ear, neither high nor low.

"When I was a kid, I had a terrible burn on my face, and it was ugly, so I always dressed like this.

How it sounds, how it speaks, how it speaks, how it looks, how it gazes… This bummer was a man who made a good impression no matter where he took it.

"I see... that was a tough feeling..."

"No, it's not as good as Sakura.

How are you feeling?

"Thank you for your concern.

I'm fine because I'm feeling better these days.

"That's good... really.

It also has a soft waist and a moderate distance feeling.

But... why? I'm sick of this crap. I thought so.

And I understood the reason by using the cherry blossom transparent eye.

"Sue... hah..."

As usual, I took a deep breath and looked around my chest.

There is a black stone. And its strength is the same as that of Shiki.

It would have been nice if that was all. It was over with...

I felt the contents of the garbage and the contents of my stomach came out unexpectedly.

In a word... black.

Man always has a heart of evil and a heart of good.

The difference between the proportions and which one acts as the spindle is constantly shaking between the two hearts.

When the evil heart turned black and the good heart turned white, the heart that turned from black to gray and white was the natural mind as a person.

But inside this rattled man, there was only evil in his heart.

Black without any starch.

I didn't even imagine that there was someone alive in this world with malice.

The moment I touched the inside, my hair dazed and I was attacked by a feeling of vomiting.

Hold on to it and smile and tell the crap.

"You have a very good lacquer stone. That's good.

I don't know if I was laughing well. Because I was forcibly suppressing the feeling that I was about to throw up and laughing.

"... I see. Thank you very much.

For a moment, I felt like I had seen something worthy of consideration.

"I'm sorry. I have business to attend to after this...."

I see. Thank you for your time. Okay, I'll take this.

That's how you stand up and leave the room.

I endured it for a while, but I couldn't endure it and vomited on the spot.

"Sakura?!

Did you feel it? My older brother noticed it immediately, called the girls down, and I lay down.

"Oniisama..."

I reached out to my brother to tell him that I still had to leave, feeling the rustling feeling of the nasty inside.

"What's wrong?!

"Father... please call Father..."

"Father...?... okay. Hold on.

My brother ran away without asking why.

A guy named Crack.

That's definitely dangerous. Never let go, not a good opponent.

Someone who needs to be locked up in the depths of the prison immediately.

Did you hear about me from my brother? My father said he was in the middle of work, but he hurried home.

"Sakura!!

Bang!

It opens violently.

"You. Please come in a little quieter.

My mother, who was looking at me on behalf of my brother, calms my father down.

"So, are you okay...?

"Chi, Father!

From behind, my brother is breathing with his hands on his knees. My older brother, who's always training, just ran, and he ran so fast.

"Mother..."

"Yes, I know.

Siden, let's go.

"Huh?!

Mother will forcibly take my brother to another room.

I told my mother I only wanted to talk to my father.

"... did something happen with today's request?

The father who saw the situation turns his arm around my back when I woke up and listens with support.

"Father... listen.

"Ah, take your time.

"...... Father, do you know a man named Garak?

"Rattling... oh. I know. One of the demons, the one who always wears a mask, right?

I don't know much about it, but I think I'm burned... "

"Yes, I came to this room today to see that crappy black stone.

"Did something happen?!

"No, nothing has been done.

"I see. That's good.

"... Father. That person is very dangerous.

"What do you mean?

"... I can't tell you the details. But... believe me. If you let him go, something bad will happen.

I can't go into detail because of my memoirs, but... if it's my father...

"... okay. I'll look into it. If that sakura says so, something will come out.

"Thank you very much.

"Leave the rest to me and Sakura will rest slowly.

Yes...

I was quite tired, to be honest, whether it was because Cherry Blossom Spot Disease was progressing or because I saw the inside of the garbage.

He lay down, supported by his father, and meditated in his eyes.

Perhaps... I will regret consulting my father for the rest of my life at this time.

The next morning, when I woke up, I was thinking about the garbage I saw yesterday.

Those who are so full of malice cannot imagine what to do.

I've been thinking a lot more horribly than I thought, and I think I might have moved on now...

With that in mind, I was trembling alone in my room...

Gattan!!

"Kyaaa!!

From the back of the mansion, you can hear a loud noise and the cries of a woman.

"Nah, what?!

Dota dota dota!

Probably because of yesterday's incident, I can hear my older brother running through the Mansion near my room.

"Who were you!?

My brother raised his voice loudly.

I've never heard a voice like anger from my older brother.

I was just terrified and solidified on the spot.

Gahhhhhh!!

A high sound of metal meeting each other from the back of the jaw.

Your heart pulses fast and hard, and your breathing gets rough on your own.

"Gah!!

Gashan!

The voice complaining about the pain on my brother and the loud noise.

In a suddenly quiet mansion.

Bang!

Sakura!

It was Mother who opened the door and came in.

Sakura!

Instead of the usual nicotine face, my mother grabbed my hand violently with a whimsical expression and ran towards the garden.

"Mother!"

I don't know why, I call my mother, but I don't hear her voice, and she runs on the gravel without turning around.

Ja...

But in front of us, there are a few people who are wearing the same kind of surface as the rag was wearing.

In his hand is a glaring and dull dagger.

My mother and I will soon be surrounded and we will lose our destination.

"What's the purpose?!

My mother holds me in her arms.

Father went out this morning to check out the garbage.

Katcha...

One of the masked men points his sword at me.

"If I give it to you gently, I won't do anything rough.

…………

You can't believe that.

Mother hides me on her back if she doesn't hand me over.

"I will never give this kid to you. This life will run out.

Mother takes a small knife out of her pocket.

It was a knife my father gave me just in case.

Of course, this is the first time my mother has seen me pull out the knife.

Mother pointed it at the man in the mask with her trembling hands.

I can't breathe well and it's painful because of the tight air.

Your body is trembling and your feet are weak.

"... I didn't mean to kill you.

"Yaaaa!!

Mother runs out and projects a knife with both hands towards the man.

Even my brother, who trains every day, can't beat a thin mother.

Mother and I should have known that.

Still, to protect me... my mother threw her life at me.

Gary!!

When a man wearing a mask runs his sword from the bottom to the top, an unpleasant metal sound sounds and the knife his mother had flies high in the sky.

"Sakura!! Run!!

Mother looks back at me and screams.

Loud enough to crush your voice.

And....

Zashh!!

Behind it, a dazzling sword is shaken down.

At that moment, her mother's eyes were opened and her precious hair string was cut in half and fell off.

You can see the pink hair that was tied open and relax from your mother's body.

"Mother!!!

I hold my mother as I scream.

That's right! I hate it! Mother! "
